A callous thug who raped a vulnerable prostitute in a city park has been jailed for five years.
Despicable Faizan Ali, 24, pounced on the 29-year-old sex worker - who cannot be named for legal reasons - at Edinburgh's Leith Links in November 2014.
The High Court in the city heard how the fiend was on the Sex Offenders Register at the time he attacked her, the Daily Record Reports.
A jury had heard evidence from the woman who wept in court as she relived her ordeal.
